Verant was somewhat inconsistent in the way hides are named. For the most part they are interchangeable terms - if you have a "skin", but a recipe calls for a "pelt" it should work. Wolf, cat and bear pelts drop from various animals scattered all over Norrath. They come in a variety of different standard qualities; High, Medium, Low, and Ruined Quality. Additionally there are 'superb' and 'excellent' quality skins used in cultural tailoring. The major difference between wolf, cat and bear pelts is the size of the armor they create; Wolf-Small, Cat-Medium, Bear-Large.

Velious

Items for all of the Velious recipes may be obtained with varying levels of difficulty from across Velious zones. If you are having a tailor make something for you, please have mercy on them and help them gather the difficult stuff first; which may be the pelts, oils, or Velium ore depending on the combine as to which pieces are the most difficult.

Note: The 252 trivials listed on EQTraders date from a patch in 2005. Server staff confirmed during the Velious beta testing that p99 would be using the original trivial levels of 335 for all Velious leathers.

Cultural Tailoring

Cultural tailoring involves a few sets of armor unique to the following races. This includes the use of imbued gems, and special sewing containers.
